btw, a memo from mike v:
Dear V1 User:
Judging by the calls we’re getting on our 800 line, folks don’t understand the tradeoffs that come when GPS is used to block false alarms.
First, the ever-expanding cacophony of K-band falses these days are coming from new cars—often times from the blind-spot warning systems now becoming standard equipment. GPS can’t block these alarms because they’re moving. GPS works only on stationary signals.
Even more troubling, GPS sometimes blocks real radar. That’s because the only thing it knows for sure is location. It can’t tell real radar from a false alarm if the two happen to be close to each other on the frequency spectrum. In that circumstance, the real radar is silenced because all signals in that part of the frequency spectrum are blocked at that GPS location.
Location-based blocking of signals (GPS) is simply not as helpful as the false-alarm recognition technology we use in Junk-K Fighter. It focuses specifically on moving K-band signals, then sorts out the ones known to be false alarms and blocks only those specific signals. I promise you, V1 will never block real traffic radar.
Sincerely,
Mike Valentine
